HEALTHCARE

THE CHALLENGE:

Hadoop has the potential to dramatically accelerate insights, drive cost savings, and improve service delivery across the healthcare industry. And with an estimated 80% of all health data in unstructured formats, Hadoop’s flexible data processing and streaming technologies can revolutionize healthcare providers’ decision-making and organizational efficiency.

Incorporate a growing set of sensor and Internet of Things (IoT) health monitoring data that will fundamentally accelerate health tracking and health information gathering to improve medical diagnosis and quality care.

Across all of these opportunities, companies are interacting with patients, partners, and regulators and sharing information that typically includes tremendous amounts of private, sensitive data — personal health information (PHI), personal identifiable information (PII), and financial and privacy data related to billing and payments (PCI and financial data). At the same time, hackers are eager to pounce on health-related information that can be extremely valuable as a means to create a false identity or implement complex insurance fraud schemes.

As the number and cost of breaches continues to rise, the healthcare industry is coming under fire for lagging industries such as financial services and retail in implementing adequate data security strategies. Healthcare organizations must take the right precautions to ensure their sensitive data remains private in Hadoop, and is compliant with the federal Health Information Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) and hundreds of state, federal, and industry compliance and privacy rules and mandates.

DATASHEET

More than 29 million U.S. health records were compromised in data breaches between 2010 and 2013, most of which involved electronic data.-Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)Security incidents among healthcare payers and providers jumped 60% over 2013 — almost double the increase reported by all industries.

The average financial losses from security incidents soared to $2.9 million in 2014, a 282% increase over the prior year.-PwC, The Global State of Information Security® Survey 2015

A Healthcare Payment Integrity Leader

A healthcare payment integrity leader combines clinical expertise and analytical technology inside Hadoop to identify and reclaim excessive and inaccurate healthcare charges with a 99% success rate. The company needed to take the next step of sharing and making this data available to clients, partners, and government health agencies in a secure, private, HIPAA — compliant format. The company’s new big data cloud uses sensitive data encryption to ensure sensitive records — including names, health records, addresses, and billing amounts — can be selectively protected.

Locking Data from Unauthorized Access with Military-Grade Encryption

The company’s most important contribution to the data science of its customers is SACIE (Security, Assembly, Cleansing, Integrity, Enrichment and Security – SACIE). This proprietary approach takes customer data sets and ensures they are cleaned, enriched, and secure before any processing or analytics are applied to that information. Dataguise data-centric protection allows the company to serve and analyze sensitive patient and billing data across health plans, providers, and employers while locking data from unauthorized access with military — grade NIST 256 BIT AES encryption.

A Healthcare Revolution through PaaS (Platform as a Service)

The company provides breakthrough innovations with their first-of-its-kind healthcare Paas (Platform as a Service) delivery method. This simplifies a customer’s path to rapidly deploy and use their products to meet their business and clinical objectives. Customers can efficiently provide data feeds and relevant data sets via the company’s secure data ingestion protocols. The data is then cleaned and enriched. Regardless of what modules a customer has contracted for, the company delivers results in a timely and confidential manner using Dataguise protection. Customer data sets only reside in the company’s secured data center, and no data is shared, transferred, or accessed without explicit compliance to regulatory and customer contractual provisions.
